I've thought the same thing and generally agree with it. Why shouldn't I be able to walk to CVS and pick up a bottle of heroin and various prescription drugs? I'm an adult; I shouldn't even owe anyone an explanation. At

I don't think your conclusion that the majority of the left has adopted that position is founded, but I agree that this is a very interesting tension that you've perfectly described. It's easy to be principled when it doesn&#

Agreed. I like the use of "why not" as a good faith question for this reason; it's a good segue into an interesting discussion, and there's also the off chance you'll actually produce a novel idea that inspires some

I was thinking about this recently. If we had an efficient way to sequester atmospheric carbon at scale, particularly if it could be done in such a way that it was backwards compatible with existing gasoline and/or diesel engines (perh

If we broaden "desktop" to include laptops, and assuming we're talking about common/mid-range consumer devices rather than e.g. spec'd out gaming machines, GP's point seems to hold up. It's still wild to m

I agree with what you're saying, and made the same decision myself. I was advised by someone who'd looked into it that I could have qualified as a healthcare worker and gotten into phase 1B or 1C, because my startup Cyph has custo

My initial reaction was to agree with you, but based on my reading of the law I actually have to support the majority opinion: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030#e_6 (6) the term “exceeds author

Interesting. I've barely posted/commented — in particular I've only made seven posts since 2012 (and zero since 2018) — but I guess because signed up in 2010 I'm in the top 17% of users. Nothing to brag about, but it&#x2

All that being said, just using the new UI out of the box actually looks great to me too: https://i.imgur.com/WUaiRUV.png I never wanted a carbon copy of Chrome, just something that looked good, so I'm glad to see Fire

Yeah, that's an odd statement to me. I don't not drink , but I also don't go out of my way to drink that often. Even considering the mean rather than median, I'm pretty sure that I fall short of 52 drinks/year. I w

I just use MaterialFox ( https://github.com/muckSponge/MaterialFox ), which makes Firefox look more or less like Chrome: https://i.imgur.com/gYwrGjK.png Edit: Welp, the new Firefox update kinda broke Mat

I always did the same thing. It'd be nicer if we could build a social convention of drink breaks instead of smoke breaks, which could sort of bootstrap off of smoke breaks in the way you described. At first a few people in any given ci

That's an interesting way of framing the issue. By that logic, while active malfeasance may be the scenario that generates more outrage, it's actually the banal/emergent evil that represents more of a reason to avoid a busine

They charge for users that are disabled Took me a second to figure out that you weren't claiming accessibility was only supported at an extra cost.

Both things can be true. The alt-right is batshit crazy, but "woke" keyboard warriors on Twitter are also assholes.

If the M1 MBA (or early 2020 Intel MBA) didn't exist, when my 2013 MBP started dying last month I would have dropped Apple for an Ubuntu XPS. I don't understand how a company of that size kept up a blunder of that magnitude for ha

I would be much more interested in a Gecko/Servo alternative to Electron than a native webview alternative. Not that I don't also acknowledge the need for that, but my application is dramatically faster in Firefox than Chrome, yet

I'm glad someone brought this up. I always feel like I'm just stupid or missing something important when people start talking about the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement. As far as I can tell, it looks like it would be a huge pain

I originally discovered and started using iTerm2 because I was looking for an OS X equivalent to Yakuake, which is pretty much the same thing as Konsole but with a dropdown/Quake-like UI.

I'm...extremely skeptical a generic "data entry job" is "high cognitive demand". Same here. While writing the GP comment, I considered using that exact example as something that I wouldn't expect to be heavil

I assume that they would have to be prepared to explain their case to the satisfaction of a human regulator. Crunchyroll being an anime streaming service is easy to understand. On the other hand, to my knowledge Netflix has never advertised

This did not happen with DARK; in fact, that's how I realised that it avoided many of the tropes because they just did not eventuate when I tried 'guessing'. Not to get too off-topic, but if you liked DARK then I'd hig

Hmm, that could be a potentially interesting model in and of itself. Rather than presuming near-term viable full autonomy, use the equivalent of drone pilots in remote locations. If the tech/network were reliable enough to make that wo

That's an interesting idea. I could see car companies offering discounts for ad- and/or cryptomining-supported models (similar to Amazon's model with Kindle hardware).

Defamation only applies when the lie is causing harm to a specific person. It's just a special case of lying. As far as I'm aware, there's no existing law in the US that would penalize lies (from the media or otherwise) in ge
